JavaScript code working only in Debugger CRM 2011

Question

I have the following line of code to refresh the parent form OnClose of Child form:

var popup = window.open(url, 'New Note', 'width=700,height=700');
 popup.focus();

Problem at below line

 popup.onbeforeunload = RefreshGrid; 

If I attach a breakpoint at above line using Developer Tools in IE-11 then alert is displayed and SomeWork is done: If I remove break-point then alert is not displayed and SomWork in not done.

function RefreshGrid() {    
alert("refresh grid");
SomeWork();
}

I have tried alot of different methods but all have the same problem, runs with Break-point and does not run without break-point.

Answer 1

Try to bind to onbeforeunload inside the pop up window. from the onbeforeunload event handler go to opener.RefreshGrid or opener.SomeWork

EDIT: This might be a cross domain issue. Consider putting the external URL in an IFRAME inside a controllable popup window ie in the same domain of your CRM app.

If you're browsing with IE you might also consider changing zone security setting for this specific website.
